Edgar Hoover Bldg. 935 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20535, USA. Urgent Attention: Beneficiary, I am special agent from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FB  Field Intelligence Unit. We have just intercepted and confiscated two trunks at John F Kennedy International Airport in Jamaica New York, NY 11430 coming from a foreign country.We crosschecked the content of the boxes and found it contained a total sum of $4.1 million dollars. Also with one of the trunks were documents with your name as the receiver of the money. As we progressed in our investigations of the Diplomat which accompanied the trunks into the United States we learned that he was to deliver these funds to your residence as payment of an inheritance/winning, which was due to you. Further checks on the consignment, we found out that the consignment paperwork lacked the PROOF OF OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE AND LEGAL DELIVERY PERMIT CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE forms. We then confiscated both trunks and released the Diplomat. The trunks According to section 229 subsection 31 of the International ,Commerce Regulators Code Enforcement Guidelines, your consignment lacks PROOF OF OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE AND LEGAL DELIVERY PERMIT CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE from the joint team of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation and Homeland Security and therefore you must contact us for direction on how to procure the two certificates, so that you can be relieved of the charges of evading tax which is a jailable offense under section 12 subsection 441 of the Tax Code. We will also be asking the IRS to launch an investigation of money laundering if you do not follow our instructions. You are therefore required to contact me within 72 hours on this email at that point I will walk you through the process of clearing and claiming the money. Failure to comply may lead to your arrested, interrogation and/or you being prosecuted in the Court of Law for tax evasion and or money laundering. You are also advised not to contact any bank in Africa, Europe or banking institution. Yours in service, Regional Director Federal Bureau of Investigation really good isnt it,,lol.. |

So the big question is, did you contact them as requested?  Seriously though, scams like these have been going on pretty much since the very first email was ever sent and received. And for the thousands and thousands of people like you and I that can recognize these as a scam, there are many (usually the elderly) who fall for it and give out their personal info, in the process losing their entire savings. There are just too many unscrupulous people in this world that would rather take from others than make their own way through life working an honest job. Like was once said: Locks are only meant to keep honest people honest. Don't ever let your guard down.

The rule of thumb is: If you receive an email/regular mail/phone call from someone claiming that you either owe money, or stand to inherit money, and it starts with anything other than your registered name (ex: "Dearest", "Kind sir/madam", etc.), it's bogus and you shouldn't reply. If it is a legit correspondence, I promise you they WILL address you by your registered name. For it to be a legal contact, they must do so. And that's just the beginning. Anyone, even me, can track down your registered name, SS#, date of birth, etc. by doing some simple research online. Facebook is a good starting point, since it provides a birthdate and (most often) the registered name of an individual. FYI: Facebook is free to view these things. And unlike here on BigChurch, you wouldn't even know that someone viewed your Facebook profile.
